  1. Windows 10 - Activation button missing


    Good Day,


    I recently bought a Razer Pro 17 laptop which had Windows 10 Home pre-installed. Prior to that, I was running Windows 10 Pro Update bought via the Microsoft online store on another laptop which had a total harddrive failure - I assume my Windows 10 Pro license would still be associated with that computer.


    Now, I'm trying to update Windows 10 Home to Pro. I was in the online Microsoft chat and I got told I will have to do it via Settings/Update+Security/Activation. Apparently there should be an activation button and from there one should get to some troubleshoot menu. Unfortunately, my Windows does not show the activation button. I then got told to update my Windows using the Media Creation Tool. I just did that version is now 20H2, build 19042.572 but still no activation button. The account linked to Windows is the same account I bought the Windows 10 Pro Update with. I got told that this can also happen if some driver issues show up in the device manager but this is not the case.


    Microsoft doesn't seem to be able to solve the issue so I was hoping that the community might have some advise.


    Kind regards,

    Tobias

    :)

  3. Installing Windows 10 using Windows 7 key

    Nope, you need to install Windows 10 first and make sure the Windows 7 key is transferred to your Windows account after you've installed Windows 10 (not quite sure how that works). I missed the last step and I could not activate Windows 10 after a re-install... Microsoft seem to have done everything they can to make it a PITA. Also, it's technically too late to do this now anyhow, as the upgrade offer has expired. But KMSPico works quite well...

    As for getting rid of Windows, delete the Windows folder.

    Why did the startup window get cleared?

    I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.
